Both FLs time travel into the past to save the ML who has died in the present. It's then revealed that the ML was secretly in love with her a long time before she believes they first met.

In both series, he saves the life of one of the characters by time travel.
They have crime, romance and humor.
The character has to go back in time several times.
It takes place in modern times.
A handsome man and a cheerful, lovely girl.

I know these have nothing to do with each other in a sense, but the "time travel" aspect kind of gave me this sense of, if you make the wrong decision someone you love could die. Lovely Runner of course is not a BL, but I found the ending to be more satisfying than 4M.
Also LR has some what if moments to it, while also being a thriller. Not as cinematographic as 4M, but has some comedic moments to make up for that.

Shining for one thing: The movie is a movie while Lovely Runner is a show.
FL travels back in time to save ML.
ML had feelings for the FL from the beginning.
A tragic accident took ML's life.
Everything begins in the school.
Friends turned lovers.

Although they have a different plotline, Kimi ga Kokoro wo Kuretakara reminds me of Lovely Runner in many ways. The same umbrella (although different colors) reference, meeting up when they are older, FL doing the "work" to save ML's life. Those kind of stuff. Anyway, the overall mood of KGKWK is much more melodramatic (despite having many crying scenes in LR too) and there is much more trauma esp in FL end.

The ML will fall into a coma, and the FL who wrote the story of the ML who is a character in his book, will enter the space time of his Novel to be able to save him and change his destiny

-time travel
-sorta time loop (ML dies no matter how much the other partner tries to save them)
-butterfly effect (future changes becoz of past actions i.e. there is only one timeline)
-chemistry is good
-romcom

Difference is that Triage a medical drama and shows a more prominent time loop and ML is able to write what happens in each while FL in LR cannot write or say anything about the future to past people.

Although the storylines are very different, the intense longing and protective love that the male lead has for the female lead makes both a feast for Romance Enthusiasts.

The series starts with ambiguous relationship between the leads, the viewers cannot comprehend how these two people would have a future with such dissimilar background. However as the series progresses, viewers find the leads have a deep connection with eachother. Their relationship and the undeniable chemistry between the leads, captivates and enthralls the viewers.

All I can really say is that if you could make it through all of the ups-and-downs and all the emotional turmoil of time travel in Lovely Runner, then you will be able to handle the more fantastical elements of Alchemy of Souls.

I will say though, that the romance is slower to start in this one, but reaches big heights and continues onto the sequel as well.
